Abstract
Comparing and contrasting a current event like the war in Iraq with an historical event like President Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex enables us to realize that those who forget the past are likely to suffer the consequences. Most Americans have forgotten about President Eisenhower's warning in 1961 of the growing power and influence of the military-industrial complex, and America is suffering the consequences today, for we are mired in a war in Iraq that benefits no one except the massive defense industry.

The Military-Industrial Complex and the War in Iraq: A Warning Unheeded Comparing and contrasting a current event like the war in Iraq with an historical event like President Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex enables us to realize that those who forget the past are likely to suffer the consequences.

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts the war in Iraq with President Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex. The paper argues that because President Eisenhower's warning in 1961 of the growing power and influence of the military-industrial complex has been largely forgotten, we are now burdened with the consequences of a war in Iraq. The paper claims that the Iraq war is reaping massive profits for the defense industry, but is bankrupting the American Treasury and bitterly dividing the country.

From the Paper
"Unfortunately, neither the American people nor their leaders have sufficiently heeded President Eisenhower's warnings over the past forty-five years, for the military-industrial complex exists today and has power and influence on a far vaster scale than existed in 1961. The interlocking associations between government leaders and institutions, powerful defense industry corporations, and the Pentagon have produced skyrocketing budget deficits, immense profits for weapons manufacturers, rampant political corruption in Washington D.C., and a bloody fiasco in Iraq."

Abstract
This paper discusses President Dwight Eisenhower's warning to Americans in 1961 to beware of the military-industrial complex. It explains why he was concerned about the power and influence being accumulated by the defense industry in the United States. The paper discusses the influence of the Cold War tensions between the communist world and the free world on Eisenhower's military-industrial complex concerns.

From the Paper
" In conclusion, President Dwight Eisenhower's warning in 1961 of the power and influence being accumulated by the military-industrial complex was based on his concerns that the Cold War tensions between the communist world and the free world was creating a permanent industrial-military-political power base in the United States.
President Eisenhower believed that the massive spending on conventional and nuclear weaponry generated by the Cold War was necessary to a certain extent, but he also considered the military-industrial complex that has been created by this spending to be a potential threat to America's democratic institutions and to world peace. That threat is no longer just potential, it is very real, and is inflicting grave damage on America's economy and democratic institutions every day."

Abstract
This paper discusses one element of the Atlantic Monthly article by Eric Schlosser, "The Prison Industrial Complex", which is prison labor. It further focuses on both sides of the debate regarding the United State's use of prisoners as labor for major corporations, and the benefits that many are achieving by this process. It also discusses the opposition to the use of prisoners as labor, and how this practice may be considered a civil rights issue that borders on slavery.

From the Paper
"In ancient times it was customary for prisoners held in various countries to perform labor as part of their confinement. As civilization grew, and laws were aimed at protecting human rights, prison labor became obsolete because of the dangers to health and life that many forms of prison labor induced. However, in the last few years the debate over prison labor has begun to escalate in the United States. This is due to the rise of major corporations that utilize prisoners for manufacturing, telemarketing, and other forms of industrial manpower. Although some believe that using prisoners as a portion of the corporate workforce is beneficial, others contend that the use of prison labor constitutes a return to the days of slavery in the United States, and is a violation of civil rights. In his Atlantic Monthly article, Eric Schlosser discusses, "The Prison Industrial Complex". "

Abstract
This paper examines how the Rockefeller Drug Laws issue different punishments for usage of crack and cocaine, with the former more prevalent in communities of color and carrying a greater sentence. White women charged with drug use are viewed to have a problem that can be cured via therapy, whereas women of color are incarcerated for similar offenses. Drug-abusing pregnant mothers are discussed, as well as the differences between the private and public forms of justice that lead to racial inequality in the judicial system. Different court cases are integrated into the argument as means of proof. Behind bars, the gendered differences between male and female prison systems is discussed, as well as the constant abuse and sexual degradation experienced by female prisoners at the hands of male guards. The prison industrial complex is also compared to a modern institution of slavery.

From the Paper
"The American legal system often targets women of color through unjust law enforcement and the prison system perpetuates systems of inequality found among non-prisoners. Women are mainly incarcerated for non-violent offenses and the circumstances in which their behavior is deemed "criminal" are influenced by racialized stereotypes and the manner in which gender roles are defined and distributed by our society. A majority of feminists have typically failed to address that violence against women by the state/and or military is a tangible enough dilemma and instead focus on domestic violence or violence initiated in the public sphere. Drug laws, in particular, target young and older women of color and their racially specific enforcement in the 'free world' manifests into the ultimate form of domination behind bars, a control that even transcends the color line."

Abstract
In this argumentative paper, the writer contends that the U.S. military should remain in Iraq. Further, the writer maintains that the Iraqi people are in the process of finding freedom but are not yet ready to support it on their own.

From the Paper
"The American people are sharply divided on the issue of the Iraq War. Should the U.S. military leave Iraq or should they remain there to calm a tense situation. There are cogent arguments on both sides of the issue but despite reasoning to the contrary the military needs to stay in Iraq for awhile longer. Arguments against keeping the military in Iraq include the complaint that there is a human cost in terms of the American soldiers, Iraqi soldiers and ..."

Abstract
This paper describes and critiques America's efforts to fight terrorism through the infamous "War on Terror." The paper declares that the decision for Americans to pull out of Iraq should not be a decision made by the American public, but must be one made entirely by the Iraqis. The paper asserts that only then can the outcome of that decision exonerate Americans for pulling their forces out of Iraq and leaving it vulnerable to the forces of Islamic extremism. The paper explains that jihadists do not simply aim to bring down buildings; they seek to incite fear, unsettle international relations, destabilize economies, and ultimately bring down the nations they oppose. The paper concludes that with the current world fears and economic turmoil, who is to say that America has been victorious?

From the Paper
"The problem with arguments that are being made against the Bush Administration and by the media pundits, academicians, and politicians is that they have their own agendas to further in berating the public to the point of concurrence with their ideas or positions. They want to sell books, news magazines, web site advertising, or are working to have their own political party gain control over the American Congress. They are poised to point the finger at the Bush Administration no matter which way events in the Middle East go, and no matter who, be it the newly elected president or the Iraqi Cabinet as the final authority in the decision on SOFA."
